Also if you do make a game like this please remember. Not everyone can afford to pay for win rar. Zip is just more accessible to more players and having to download extra players just to play a game either adds more hoops to jump through or just makes the game inaccessible. I can't stress enough how annoying it is to find a game and realize you can't play it because the dev didn't take this into consideration. It seems to happen more so with NSFW games then anything else. It's mostly either having to install some obscure rpgm file that for one reason or another my laptop refuses to allow me to install (usually because my computer recognized a virus or something and I'm not gonna risk destroying my computer just to play a game) or it's a RAR which requires me and I'd imagine many others to instal winrar which I just can't afford to pay a monthly fee ( or yearly I can't remember it's been a while since I straightened out my priorities) to renew. So please... I'm begging you to keep this in mind.

Thank you! <3 I do think someone else had brought it up as well recently, that they had troubles with .rar files and asked for us to provide .zip files even as a alternative. We'll go ahead and correct this with our upcoming release for MA v0.20 forward~ ^^

I might have way back when. But yeah if you want to increase your player base by maximizing availability then please keep in mind that a zip file would make the game available to near everyone who uses windows but can't afford to keep renewing winrar. Not sure how Mac works so my suggestion would be to have a zip file (for windows), rar file (for mac I think), and an apk file (for mobile) readily available to maximize potential player base. Not having any one of these 3 could potentially turn away potential players and valuable potential insight in regards to what people think of your game due to an inability to play said game. also thank you for your consideration.
